Our Council sold 35 tickets last year. If we can sell 43 tickets this year, we will get a 25% credit
on our state per capita. 65 sold equals 50%; 86 equals 75% and 129 equals 100% credit per
capita and $9 back per ticket. Final ticket turn-in to me is January 1st.

Father Michael McGivney’s feast day is August 13 and our parish patron St. Augustine’s feast
day is August 28. Please take some time on these dates to learn more and say a prayer for
them.
